We started this outlet in 2014 on a promise to serve the public interest — your interest — in all things. Since then we’ve won just about every major journalism award in Canada, and our reporting has influenced policy and legislation at every level.

In 2025, we were granted Registered Journalism Organization (RJO) status — one of just six English-language outlets that have earned that designation. That means your donation to us is now tax deductible. What are you waiting for? Fund the journalism you want to see in the world.
